property overview

Overlooking Piazza della Repubblica, the hotel is within walking distance to the Duomo and Uffizi gallery.

The centrally located Hotel Savoy is built on the site of the Mercato Vecchio and old church of San Tommaso, and is within walking distance from the city’s great sites including the Duomo, Ponte Vecchio and the Uffizi Gallery. The sense of location and history is reflected in star-designer Olga Polizzi’s sleek, modern Italian interiors with muted colors and beautiful mosaic bathrooms. The main designer behind Sir Rocco Forte`s hotels, Polizzi also referenced the city’s nearby fashion boutiques with tongue-in-cheek artwork and photography. Irene, the new Florentine bistro by Fulvio Pierangelini, is a journey through flavor and tradition with simple, authentic flavors and light and healthy reinventions of Tuscan classics. In summer, guests can enjoy al fresco dining on the classic Piazza Repubblica.
